My two cents
The audio quality of this mp3 is perfect. The actual program content was so captivating, I don't recommend trying to listen in your car. This will dominate your attention.
I was planning to test it to see if it would play, and I ended up taking in the entire hour. It stays on my mp3 player now and every once and again I dig it up.
I listen to a lot of old time radio and I have a fair idea of what it may have sounded like to listen to the news in 1938. I'm stunned how close this sounds (most of it) to a news broadcast. I totally understand the mass panic that went along with this programs original airing.
No words can describe this experience. You must listen.

Very Good Quality
I just had to comment that this is a very good quality mp3 encode of this classic broadcast. Also, I believe this is the complete original, with no new material added. Thank you for uploading this.
